Re: How do parents help your FRC team?

Our parents formed a Boosters a few years ago in order to better organize the parents behind the team, it is still in its infancy so it isn't formal and they do not have an account for collecting money, we handle that with our non-profit account.

Some additional items our parent boosters have also helped with in addition to your list:
  1. Operate Concessions at our FLL event or other events we have where we have concessions.
  2. Organize the End of year team banquet
  3. Mentor the team, given they have time and/or skills to add
  4. Organize travel - book hotel rooms and buses
  5. Organize pre-order meals for Regionals
  6. Organize volunteers at FLL event and other activities

I know I am forgetting some things.
